Multicast non-stop routing<br />

The ethernet slot/portnum parameter specifies the port number. Use this parameter if the port is a<br />

member of a virtual routing interface, and you are entering this command at the configuration level<br />

for the virtual routing interface.<br />

Manually added groups are included in the group information displayed by the following<br />

commands:<br />

• show ip igmp group<br />

• show ip pim group<br />

To display static multicast groups in default VRF, enter the following command.<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong>#show ip igmp static<br />

----------------------------------<br />

224.2.2.2 v1 ethe 5/2<br />

Syntax: show ip igmp [vrf vrf_name] static<br />

The vrf parameter allows you to display static IGMP groups for the VRF instance specified by the<br />

vrf_name variable.<br />

Multicast non-stop routing<br />

Multicast non-stop routing (NSR) provides hitless-failover support on all platforms for IPv4<br />

multicast features (default and non-default VRFs): PIM-DM, PIM-SM, and PIM-SSM.<br />

If multicast NSR is enabled, the software state is kept in sync between the active and standby<br />

modules. The standby module is NSR ready when the software state of the standby and active<br />

modules are in sync. When the standby module is NSR ready, a hitless-failover does not result in a<br />

disruption to the multicast forwarding state or traffic<br />

If Multicast NSR is not enabled, or if the standby module is not NSR ready, the software state of the<br />

standby and active modules are not in sync. In this case, after a switchover or failover occurs, the<br />

new active module enters protocol learning phase for a duration of 55 seconds. During this phase,<br />

it learns the protocol state information from its PIM neighbors and local clients. During this period,<br />

new multicast flows will not be forwarded, but the existing mutlicast flows (which existed prior to<br />

switchover or failover) are forwarded in hardware without any disruption. At the end of the period,<br />

all the existing flows are deleted from hardware and they are reprogrammed as per the newly<br />

learned state information. Multicast traffic will incur a slight disturbance until the new active<br />

module reprograms the hardware with new forwarding state information.<br />

The following message is displayed on the console of the active and standby modules to indicate<br />

that the standby module is NSR ready:<br />

Mcastv4 is NSR ready<br />

NOTE<br />

During a hitless-upgrade on SX platforms, the new active module will always perform the 55 second<br />

deferred hardware cleanup even if the NSR is enabled.<br />
